Starter for Two

Hello!
It's been nearly two weeks since the weekend at Halsway Manor for the beginners and intermediates. I love it when new players start and go home with their new instrument after the weekend and we had four such people, that went home with instruments.  I wrote this little tune to help get to know the C string. So it's a tune for the complete beginners this week. I've filmed it for the C string, but it works on the D string too. I'll put up both versions - but it's only filmed for C.
Enjoy!

Perry the Partridge

Hello!
Today is the start of my March course at the wonderful Halsway Manor down in Somerset. I pretty much always start my beginners off with this tune. It's a canon, so every two bars the next player starts. It'll bound to be played over the weekend. Here's a photo to show how special this place is! I'll post more pictures over the
weekend!

I've now added an update to this page - Sad Perry the Partridge in the minor key.

How Do you hold the Moraharpa Bow?

Hello!
A quick little video. The Moraharpa bow is held a little bit differently to a normal bow. You have to tension it between your fingers and your thumb. Watch the video to see how I do this.

It's cool!
